Nasty Little Time Thieves Ruining Our Days and Lives:

Among the many common problems that we complain about is that we don't have enough time in our lives.  One immediate simple solution is to reduce one's workweek from full-time to part-time or to unemployment. This is not practical for many who have lived beyond their means as malignant materialist or as over-active proletariats (big families). Timism's proposal of 24in4 will give all people the Morality of More Time by sharing work for a shorter workweek with healthcare provided in exchange for needed community services. Wouldn't you like to have a four-day, six-hour work schedule? If a teacher, wouldn't you like a flip-flop workweek with a 4-day weekend twice a month?

There is another component to feeling over-worked or over-whelmed, that is, too many time-wasting problems. At one extreme of reactions, people self-defeatingly over-worry about a problem, a reaction that waste time and emotions. Each day we wake up with a clean slate with which to tackle the problems of the day. As the day progresses, people step on our toes with insults and box our ears with discordant notes of stupity. Each emotionally draining action causes us to have a sense of less time.

Time perception and awareness is subjective. A watch pot does not boil. If you love what you do then you will never work a day in life.

Attitude determines altitude of achievements in life  Long ago, this writer adopted a modus operandi with time-wasting problems. Define how and when to solve the problem then forget about it until the moment to solve the problem. This approach emotionally and temporally saves time during the day. One gets more done with a clear head. One is less likely to slip into abusing  other human beings.

Afterall, the word problem comes from Latin for better dancing, pro ballet. With the right attitude toward problems, one can dance better on the stage that is one's life. We all have problems. With shared problems there are shared solutions. Package and sell your solution to others for a life of forward existence, i.e., a life of profits.

For those problems that one cannot solve, there is always the Serenity Prayer.

The above philosophy on handling problems is helpful when life rains on your parade. Unfortunately, the greed and igknowance of others sometimes cause dizzles or downpours. Institutional racism (both black and white) cause daily disruption of peoples' thinking so that they have less time to solve their daily problems. One example is a racist on the job taunting a Black co-worker as a "N-word'er." Some Blacks would would be fraught with mind-disrupting, time-wasting anger. At the other end of the reaction continuum would be lthe coolheads upon which the soundbyte would be quickly forgotten like water on a duck's back, And, as many Blacks know, it would be a good moment for self-pride, "There but for the grace of God might I go."

The above treatise will be the bedrock for numerous short examples of how our days seem longer because of nasty little time thieves. In all cases, simple solutions will be provided why which the readers can affect a daily time-savings. The solutions fulfill Timism's goal of being the Morality of More Time.
